Aspiring Nurse Avoids Assault Charge

A young woman, currently working in home health care with aspirations of finishing nursing school and a career in health care was facing an assault charge. Allegedly, our client attacked another woman who was pregnant. At the second jury trial date, a plea offer was reached that allowed our client to avoid a conviction of assault; which would have adversely impacted her current employment and future nursing career. The assault was amended to a 3rd degree misdemeanor criminal mischief and our client avoided jail.
